Mu Wan felt that his smile wasn’t sincere. She quickly pulled him along, and to her surprise, they really were Shen Lele and Jiang Shixi. The two of them were just as surprised to see Mu Wan. Shen Lele was the first to speak.

“Wan wan-jie, what are you doing here?” Then, he noticed Kuang Ye and immediately realized. “Wait, you’re here with the team leader to tour the team, right?”

“Then come on, come on! I’ll show you my carefully arranged figurine area…”

Mu Wan was taken aback by Shen Lele’s words. It took her a while to figure out what he meant and she responded in astonishment, “Your team is here too?”

Although she had sent flowers to Kuang Ye before, she had copied the address from the internet and didn’t have any impression of it.

Shen Le replied, “What do you mean, ‘your team is here too’? Our team has always been here.”

Mu Wan turned to look at Kuang Ye. He had his hands in his pockets, smiling smugly. “Surprised, huh? Unexpected, right?”

With this, they could visit each other not only at home but also during work hours. Maybe he could even pick up Wan Wan from work—just thinking about it made him happy.

Mu Wan nudged him with her elbow in annoyance. “I knew it, that’s why you were suddenly so eager to help me find an office.”

Kuang Ye grabbed her hand and placed it in his pocket. “Just tell me, are you happy with it?”

Mu Wan didn’t want him to gloat, so she turned her head and said nothing. In her heart, she was satisfied—who wouldn’t want to be closer to their loved one?

Mu Wan then told Shen Le that she was starting a talent agency and that the office was nearby. Shen Lele immediately offered to send a flower basket on the opening day and then invited Mu Wan to visit the team.

“It’s just about time for lunch. Our chef at ST is amazing. Wan Wan-jie, come on over!”

Mu Wan couldn’t resist his enthusiasm, and she was also curious to see the environment where Kuang Ye worked, so she agreed to go with them.

When they arrived at the team’s base, Kuang Ye showed Mu Wan around. On the first floor, there was a huge figurine of an HW game character. It was incredibly lifelike, with a crown on top, and it belonged to Kuang Ye.

“Wan wan-jie, this was a gift from the fans when ST made it to the top ten in the national competition last year.”

“He used this character to get five best damage-dealer awards and showed up those foreigners who called us LPL ‘chickens’.”

Shen Lele saw that Mu Wan was taking photos of the figurine, so he pushed Kuang Ye aside and took over his role as the guide, excitedly introducing all the figurines in the collection. He even took her to see the figurine wall he had arranged, explaining how hard it was to collect each one.

Kuang Ye’s temples twitched in frustration. Unable to hold it in anymore, he grabbed Shen Le by the collar, threw him aside, and with a sinister smile said, “Go greet Auntie. We’ll have more people for lunch today, so tell her to cook a few more dishes.”

Shen Lele protested, “But I haven’t finished introducing yet…”

Jiang Shixi pulled him away, “Her boyfriend will introduce it to her, no need for you to interfere. Just go walk far away.”

Kuang Ye: “Still, Xiao Jiang knows how to read the situation.” He took over Shen Lele’s role and continued showing Mu Wan around. When the ST team found out that Ye Shen’s girlfriend had come to visit the team, they were curious to the point of dying to know what she looked like. The fleeting picture that had been posted on Weibo had left everyone in suspense, and the mystery had yet to be solved. However, it would be rude to rush up to her and stare. At that moment, a little clever one grabbed a cup and went to the water dispenser in the lounge. As they passed by Mu Wan and Kuang Ye, the person casually glanced over in Mu Wan’s direction.

Wow, she’s so beautiful.

After returning, the little clever one shared the information. Not only did it not calm everyone’s curiosity, but it only made them even more eager to find out. Just how beautiful is she?

Everyone exchanged knowing glances and then, one by one, grabbed the cups on the table.

So, Mu Wan and Kuang Ye soon realized that a bunch of people with cups were walking past them, heading straight for the water dispenser in the lounge.

Mu Wan hesitated, “Is there only one water dispenser in your base?”

Kuang Ye: “…” These little brats really know how to embarrass him.

After touring the base team, Kuang Ye took her to the cafeteria for a meal. The ST base was smaller than those large companies with hundreds of people, and the whole base didn’t even have a hundred people. So the so-called cafeteria was really just a slightly larger dining hall. By this time, all the official team members had arrived. After greeting each other, Mu Wan tried a bite of the food, and it was indeed not worse than the restaurants outside.

Suddenly, she thought of something and smiled at everyone, “I’ve never had the chance to say this before, but on the day of my competition, thanks to you all for getting the backup violin for me. I really appreciate it.”

Shen Lele, flustered by the formal thanks, said, “There’s no need to thank us, it was nothing.”

Jiang Yu also said, “The captain helps us a lot, too.” When he first joined ST, he wasn’t used to it and made a few mistakes. He was heavily criticized online, but thanks to Kuang Ye, he regained his form.

Xu Yijin added, “During that match, someone even threw sulfuric acid at us. Luckily, nothing serious happened in the end.”

Jiang Shixi, with a smirk, said, “Seems like any competitive arena is full of blood and danger.”

Jiang Yu continued, “You’re not wrong. I remember last year, someone even put laxatives in our captain’s bottled water. After that, the manager made sure we didn’t drink any water that was out of sight.”

Mu Wan looked at Kuang Ye in concern, “Something like that happened?”

Kuang Ye comforted her by patting the back of her hand, “It’s all in the past. The person who put the drugs in the water was a fan from the opposing team. I tasted the water as soon as I took the first sip and spat it out.”

Shen Lele added, “Lucky it was bottled water, not a drink. Otherwise, we might not have noticed.”

He then warned Mu Wan, “Wan wan-jie, be careful during your competitions too. Some people are up to no good and can do anything.”

In any competitive field, such things were bound to happen. For example, a famous singer had once had their voice permanently damaged by poisoning.

Mu Wan looked at everyone’s concerned expressions and smiled more brightly. “Okay, I’ll be careful.”
